A UK mum who dismissed a shooting pain as fatigue but was given a stage 4 bowel cancer diagnosis 12 hours later has described her shock at receiving a "death sentence".
Amie Walton, from Birmingham, had been experiencing heartburn for months and had pain in both her shoulders in September 2020 when she visited the GP.
After being rushed to hospital with a suspected blood clot, the 30-year-old was told she a tumour the size of a pea on the right side of colon which had spread to her liver.
